Ark Journey

"Oh."

The two of them almost returned to Yumen for the last time, and then the gate closed, leaving only some pavilions flying in the sky to observe the entire north.

Entering Yumen City, Xue Zhi felt at first glance that this was not a city, but a huge military camp.

Perhaps places closer to the city center will be more like living areas.

Zhongyue seemed to have something else to do. He said to Xue Zhi with a hint of apology:

"I still have some things to do here, so go to Jie Feng's place and rest for a while. You guys are more familiar with the place than others."

Xue Zhi was not picky.

"Grandmaster, just make the arrangements."

Chapter 4: Conversation

After separating from Zhongyue, Xue Zhi, led by a soldier, came to the camp where Jie Feng was.

At the entrance of the camp, the five big characters "First Trap Camp" are particularly imposing.

"So you are from the Xianzhen Camp. No wonder you came to me first."

After looking at the door for a few seconds, Xue Zhi walked in.

Jie Feng, who received the message, was already waiting inside.

Seeing Xue Zhi coming over, he took off his armor and washed his face and greeted her enthusiastically.

"Welcome to our Xianzhen camp to rest. I am a rough guy and I forgot to introduce myself before. I am Jie Feng, the highest commander of the First Xianzhen camp."

Xue Zhi smiled and waved her hand nonchalantly.

"It's okay. I already know your name from the Grandmaster."

"We'll have dinner soon. Would you like to rest first or try our food?"

"Let's go eat something. I'm a little hungry."

"Ok."

After learning of Xue Zhi's idea, Jie Feng took him to the restaurant in the camp.

The soldiers they met on the road all saluted Xue Zhi. The story of how the medicine he used saved many people had spread.

Moreover, his leather armor, which changes color with the environment, is very recognizable.

"I really have to thank you this time. Without you killing so many demons, our battle would be much more difficult, and we don't know how many soldiers would die."

"It's all for humanity and Da Yan."

The restaurant was filled with a rich aroma at this moment. Xue Zhi simply identified several spices.

I have to say that the food in the northwest uses a lot of spices, so it probably doesn’t taste bad.

Today's dish seems to be stewed horned beast meat. The meat is cut into very large chunks and keeps rolling in the brown-yellow soup. The shadows of potatoes and carrots can also be seen in the broth.

They also offer a small white cake of moderate thickness and a strong cereal aroma, as well as juice to relieve the greasiness.

After the meal was ready, Jie Feng and all the soldiers of the First Formation raised their glasses to Xue Zhi.

"Alcohol is not allowed in the army, so we will use this as a toast to Your Excellency."

"To Your Excellency!"

Xue Zhi was not unfamiliar with this kind of scene. He was from Lucheng and was born with this skill. However, he still felt a little uncomfortable that he was the one being toasted this time.

After drinking a glass of sweet and sour juice, my appetite was whetted.

"Have a meal!"

"Yes!"

Following Jie Feng's order, everyone sat down and started eating.

Xue Zhi only started eating after everyone else started eating.

The meat of the horned beast was stewed very tender and thoroughly, and the complex aroma composed of various spices completely penetrated into the meat and blended with the meat aroma.

The pancakes are soft and fragrant. They are even more delicious when sandwiched with large pieces of lamb and some onions and dipped in a little soup.

This is a frontier city-state, and the defense is against human enemies. As long as the ruler is not a fool, he will not treat the soldiers here unfairly.

"How does it taste, sir?"

Xue Zhi, who had just swallowed a large piece of cake, gave a thumbs up.

"It's great. After traveling for so long, I finally got to taste the delicious food of our Dayan again."

"As long as you like, we have unlimited quantity here, and there will be more after you finish eating."

"Ah."

Seeing that Xue Zhi liked it, Jie Feng also breathed a sigh of relief and started to eat his own.

Xue Zhi, who was eating with a group of soldiers, did not hide anything. He ate with big mouthfuls and showed almost no manners.

After ordering two more servings, Xue Zhi finally slowed down her pace after finally satisfying her appetite.

"By the way, let me ask you something."

"You say."

"Will eating this much affect your subsequent training or combat?"

"It's stipulated that players who have just finished a match have two days to rest, but we usually stop when we have had enough."

"I see."

After finishing her meal and drinking a few glasses of juice, Xue Zhi was taken to a reception room by Jie Feng.

Upon receiving the news, Xie Feng told Xue Zhi that the commander would come in person to thank him later.

Xue Zhi, who was not very familiar with history, thought for a while before remembering what the position of Taiwei was for.

"Someone like the vice chairman of the **? That's high enough."

So Xue Zhi waited here quietly, drinking some tea and eating snacks that were served to her.

About ten minutes later, a middle-aged man wearing dark clothes and with his hair tied in a bun appeared in front of Xue Zhi.

[He is the Grand Commandant? He seems too young.]

“Thank you for the help you extended to us today.”

"You are too polite, General."

After exchanging a few pleasantries, the two sat down.

"Where are you from?"

"Jiang Qicheng, but he has been gone for many years."

Xue Zhi revealed Lu Cheng's name in Terra.

"So you are Jiang Qicheng's man. No wonder you act so calmly and steadily. I'd like to offer you a toast first."

I drank a glass of tea instead of wine.

Xue Zhi didn't know how she acted so calm and steady, she just listened.

"When will you return home?"

"I'm not in a hurry. My parents passed away a few years ago and my family fell into poverty. I don't have anywhere to stay if I go back. I wonder if the commander has anything to say?"

Xue Zhi guessed that he might have something to ask her, so she brought up the topic directly.

The general also laughed when he saw this, without any of the arrogance of a senior official of a great country.

This was mainly because Xue Zhi's strength was too terrifying. Even without mentioning his strength, the fact that he took out medicine to reduce the casualties of the soldiers was also worthy of respect.

"Haha, I can't hide it from you, Your Excellency."

After filling Xue Zhi's teacup, he continued:

"The Heaven Monitoring Department predicts that there may be more evil demons attacking the city in the next few days. Please help us when the time comes."

"That's no problem."

Xue Zhi agreed immediately. He didn't like evil spirits at all. Killing them would reduce the casualties of the soldiers and earn him a lot of points. Why not do it?

"Also, do you have any thoughts on my potions?"

"Will you give it to me, sir?"

"Of course, the lives of the soldiers are precious. Each of them is a son, a husband, a father. The sacrifice of each soldier will lead to the destruction of several families."

Hearing this, the general's expression changed. He stood up and bowed solemnly to Xue Zhi.

"I would like to thank you on behalf of the soldiers of Yumen."

"You're welcome, but I do have some requests."

"Your Majesty, it's okay to say so."

After drinking a sip of tea, Xue Zhi said:

"I've been out for so long that I've lost my ID card. Now I need a new one."

"no problem."

There were some doubts about this situation, but the general agreed to it directly because Xue Zhi could contribute more value.

"Also, I need some coins and the like. Besides using them, I also want a set for collection."

"collect?"

The general was unable to come to his senses immediately.

He understood after Xue Zhi showed him the box of Ursus coins.

"That's easy to say."

Chapter 5: Sorting out the Harvest

After the chat, Xue Zhi declined the Taiwei official's suggestion to arrange another place to stay, and he directly found an empty room in the camp of the First Formation and lived there.

After all, I haven't lived here for long, so there is no need to be too particular.

Late at night, Xue Zhi did not choose to rest. He sat cross-legged on the bed, with a translucent data board floating in front of him that only he could see.

Now that I have some free time, I can use it to count what I have gained during my stay in Ursus.

The first thing is points. Although most of them were obtained by killing the group of demons yesterday, I also got a lot in Ursus.

According to Xue Zhi's own rough estimate, the number of people he killed in Ursus should be counted in tens of thousands, and the direct or indirect economic losses were at least hundreds of billions.

A mobile city was robbed; a large number of warships, even two flagships, were destroyed, not to mention the skilled soldiers on them, which were truly priceless treasures.

As for those mines that were looted, they were just extras compared to the ones mentioned above.

In addition to the points, the most important thing is the black spherical form that can improve Xue Zhi's combat ability.
